Big and heavy, yes. But I'll never feel under-gunned with one on my belt. My other available choices are 9mm, 380 or 9mm Makarov and none have the stopping power of the .45.

Bul Armory also makes a very good version of that little Stacatto.

Great episode. Smooth and fast. Makes me miss my SPAS12, boat anchor or not.

Re: Are 1911's too antiquated these days?
A 1911 is my favorite handgun, purely due to aesthetics. I think it’s an absolutely beautiful piece. My affinity for them honestly never had anything to do with how well they shoot or whether or not they’re relevant nowadays.

This is where I am as well. Still have one but I will pick up others before it.kenpoprofessor wrote: ↑November 18th, 2022, 6:37 pm I've never "rejected" 1911's, they're just not practical for me. From a self defense perspective, they've got too many "not go bang" issues to resolve. Now, I like them, and I'll shoot everybody else's, but I won't own again.
Have a great, gun carryin', Kenpo day

Re: Are 1911's too antiquated these days?
The only reason I had one at one time was because a friend of mine had pawned it, and I told him I'd get it out of pawn and he could pay me back when he could to get it back. He did finally get it back about two years later, along with a Glock 20 he pawned. I took it out a few times, and decided if he didn't want it anymore, I'd sell it because it just wasn't for me.SupportTheSecond wrote: ↑November 26th, 2023, 8:56 am
